From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 215 The Divine Power Wall, Jiang Zhaoxia's Luck

Although it's unclear what the effect of "Like a Dragon in Fortune" is, this notification proves that Jiang Zhaoxia is not in immediate danger.

The fact that Jiang Zhaoxia encountered such a calamity indicates that this crisis is not simple. In addition, Jiang Zhaoxia went to save Zhao Zhen, so could it be that she just happened to run into Zhao Zhen's calamity?
Li Qingqiu was filled with confusion.

It's unclear whether this tribulation belongs to Jiang Zhaoxia, or if it just so happens that their tribulations coincide and they have to face them together.

He could only continue to wait.

Because of this hint, Li Qingqiu's mood improved.

He always felt that the strength of Qingxiao Sect could not be judged solely by his own power. Only if the disciples of the sect could resolve the crisis without his intervention could Qingxiao Sect be considered truly strong.

Jiang Zhaoxia's ability to resolve this crisis single-handedly proves that he is trustworthy.

As expected, he and Xu Ning could not act together.

Li Qingqiu unloaded his burdens and began to concentrate on cultivating the Mountain-Moving and Town-Suppressing Divine Power. He had already mastered this power, and he practiced it again and again simply to improve.

With the destiny of being "forged through trials and tribulations," Li Qingqiu's efforts will not be in vain.

……

Zhao Zhen had a nightmare in which Jiang Zhaoxia was cruelly murdered by the Star Ancestor, and in which his master scolded him. He was so frightened that he woke up suddenly.

He opened his eyes, panting heavily. What came into view was the dim cave wall with firelight flickering nearby.

"Senior Brother Zhao Zhen, are you alright?"

Qiao Dingbei leaned closer and asked nervously.

Zhao Zhen felt his mouth was dry and his head was throbbing. He asked with difficulty, "Who...are you...where is this place..."

“My name is Qiao Dingbei, and I am a disciple of the Yuling Hall. My junior sister went to deliver a message to you before. I have been following you. This is a cave, and there is no danger for the time being. You have lost too much blood and need to rest for a while.”

Qiao Dingbei said softly, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.

"How is Uncle-Master Jiang?" Zhao Zhen asked after regaining some strength.

“He is also recuperating. You are all seriously injured. Don’t speak yet, focus on healing. You’ve lost a lot of blood and your body is covered in cuts and bruises. Speaking could aggravate your injuries,” Qiao Dingbei said earnestly.

Hearing that Jiang Zhaoxia was recuperating, Zhao Zhen felt a little relieved; as long as she wasn't dead, there was hope.

He really wanted to ask about the situation of the Star Ancestor, but he could also see that Qiao Dingbei was very tired, so he could only hold back.

He closed his eyes, enduring the pain.

This patience lasted for three full days.

Three days later, all his wounds had scabbed over, and he had taken a lot of medicine to barely get through the ordeal.

On this day, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Didn't my master's divine eagle arrive? Where is it?"

Qiao Dingbei, who was meditating, opened his eyes and replied, "We originally planned to take it back, but on the way, you started bleeding profusely, so Senior Jing suggested that we find a place to recuperate first, and that's how we came here."

Hearing that Duke Jing was still alive, Zhao Zhen was completely relieved.

Qiao Dingbei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother Zhao Zhen, there's something I need to tell you. Be prepared."

Zhao Zhen closed her eyes and asked, "Has something happened to my mother?"

He hadn't heard his mother's voice for three days, and he knew something was wrong.

He couldn't quite describe how sad he was, but a strange sense of loneliness welled up inside him.

Although he wasn't abandoned by his mother, he hadn't spent much time with her and their relationship wasn't very deep. But his mother was his only family in the world, so how could his heart not be moved?
"After that demon died, your mother also died. I saw a giant centipede emerge from her mouth. When we buried her, we found her body had become unusually shriveled. I suspect her bones may have..."

This fact is cruel, but Qiao Dingbei felt it was necessary to make it clear to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He said softly, "Thank you for burying her for me, and my two attendants..."

“I buried them too, but I didn’t erect a monument for them. After all, Cangzhou was ravaged by the Northern Barbarians, and I thought I would erect a monument for them later,” Qiao Dingbei replied.

"You did the right thing..."

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes. He used to find Ku Yi and Ku Er annoying, always using the Zhao family to blackmail him and force him to become emperor. But with their deaths, he felt a little sad.

After all, these two were the people who had been with him the longest, accompanying him since he was old enough to understand.

He felt no guilt about Yu Mi's death, but the deaths of Ku Yi and Ku Er made him feel guilty.

The seventh level of the Nourishing Essence Realm is really not strong enough...

Seeing Zhao Zhen close his eyes, Qiao Dingbei knew he was in great pain and didn't dare to disturb him.

Putting yourself in his shoes, if his junior brother or sister died, he would also feel sad and might even have an emotional breakdown.

"Qiao Dingbei, come in here."

A voice came from the darkness; it was Jiang Zhaoxia's voice.

Hearing his voice, Zhao Zhen was completely relieved; it seemed that his third uncle was alright.

Qiao Dingbei stood up and walked towards the cave passage.

After passing through a winding cave passage, he arrived at a more spacious cave chamber, where spring water flowed down the cave walls in front of him, like a water curtain covering a large area of ​​the mountainside.

Jiang Zhaoxia stood in front of the mountain wall, with the Tianhong Sword floating beside her.

With Qiao Dingbei's cultivation level, he couldn't see Chu Jing's soul, but he knew Chu Jing was there.

He approached Jiang Zhaoxia, raised his hand in greeting, and asked, "Elder Jiang, what are your orders?"

Jiang Zhaoxia had disheveled hair, was shirtless, and had his right arm wrapped in a white cloth, which was stained with blood. His face was pale, and he looked extremely weak.

“My vital energy is exhausted and my spiritual consciousness is weak. Please inject your vital energy into this cave wall,” Jiang Zhaoxia said.

Chu Jing floated beside him, looking at the cave wall with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

This cave wall actually has the effect of suppressing evil spirits. He felt his soul being burned as soon as he touched it. Because of this, he was sure that this cave wall held a great secret, which is why he asked Jiang Zhaoxia to summon Qiao Dingbei.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Dingbei immediately turned around, raised his hand, and channeled his vital energy into the cave wall, causing the water curtain in front of him to spread out in a circle.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Dingbei trembled, his eyes widened, and he froze.

Jiang Zhaoxia frowned and looked at Qiao Dingbei, somewhat hesitant. However, he could sense that Qiao Dingbei's blood and qi were not fluctuating much, as if he were under some kind of illusion.

After a while, Qiao Dingbei woke up as if from a dream. He took a deep breath, turned to look at Jiang Zhaoxia, and said, "Elder Jiang, this cave wall is mysterious. It actually records supernatural powers. Those supernatural powers are too profound, like more advanced spells. I cannot comprehend them."

Supernatural powers?
Jiang Zhaoxia and Chu Jing both looked surprised.

"Tsk tsk, surviving such a calamity, and then stumbling upon a divine inheritance in a random cave—Jiang Zhaoxia, your luck is simply too incredible!" Chu Jing exclaimed. Jiang Zhaoxia had guided them to this cave, so the opportunity within it was essentially discovered by Jiang Zhaoxia.

"On my way here, I noticed that this cave was very deep and might be hiding something, so I made a note of it. I never expected to have such a chance encounter."

Jiang Zhaoxia spoke, her tone wistful.

Qiao Dingbei could tell he was talking to Duke Jing, so he didn't disturb him.

Jiang Zhaoxia turned to Qiao Dingbei and said, "Go back to your sect first and tell the sect leader about this privately. Ask him to send Xu Ning or Shen Yue to meet you. You can come along too and study the supernatural powers together."

Qiao Dingbei was pleasantly surprised and quickly agreed. He bowed to Jiang Zhaoxia and then took his leave.

After he left, Chu Jing asked curiously, "Are you sure you wanted to bring these two? Aren't you competing with them, especially Xu Ning?"

The entire sect knew that none of the three would submit to the other, especially Jiang Zhaoxia and Xu Ning, who were constantly chasing each other in cultivation.

Jiang Zhaoxia calmly said, "I really don't want to lose to them, but Zhao Zhen and I are seriously injured and need time to heal. Moreover, it's fair to let them comprehend the supernatural powers. Of course, most importantly, I hope they become stronger and stronger. After all, we all belong to the Qingxiao Sect. No matter how we compete, the interests of the sect are the most important."

Chu Jing nodded, his face showing admiration. To be honest, this was the first time he had been alone with Jiang Zhaoxia, and he hadn't known Jiang Zhaoxia well enough before.

It now seems that Li Qingqiu has taught his junior brothers and sisters very well; none of them are selfish and they all have a sense of the big picture.

"There's something you might not know: I'm actually the deputy sect leader of Qingxiao Sect. Well, my senior brother appointed me, so naturally I have to consider things from the perspective of the entire sect."

Jiang Zhaoxia stared at the Divine Power Wall and said expressionlessly.

Deputy Sect Master?
Chu Jing's expression was strange. He vaguely remembered that Li Qingqiu praised Zhang Yuchun for his efficient work, saying that Zhang Yuchun was indeed worthy of being the deputy sect leader he had chosen.

In his view, Li Qingqiu had no intention of appointing a deputy sect leader at all; he was just deceiving those around him, just as Li Qingqiu praised each of his disciples as the future number one in the sect.

Is this kind of nonsense considered a way to manage subordinates?
Jiang Zhaoxia didn't know what Chu Jing was thinking, but he felt a little guilty. Who told him to lose control just now?

He deliberately avoided looking at Chu Jing, keeping his eyes fixed on the Divine Wall.

Sudden.

Jiang Zhaoxia's consciousness was suddenly pulled into a bright and illusory world. He stood on a mountain ridge, with a continuous mountain range in front of him. At the end of the mountain range stood a sword that was even bigger than the mountain itself, like the weapon of an ancient god stuck in the earth, showing a vast and majestic aura.

"That is……"

Jiang Zhaoxia's eyes widened, a strange light flickering in them.

……

Not long after Qiao Dingbei left the cave, he felt a strong wind. He looked up and saw Xiao Ba circling high in the sky.

He immediately said, "Elder Jiang sent me back to the sect. Could you give me a ride?"

He felt this was the fastest way.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba swooped down towards him, and he immediately leaped up, landing on Xiao Ba's claws. He dared not stand on the eagle's back.

Xiao Ba was incredibly fast; just as darkness fell, Qiao Dingbei returned to Qingxiao Gate.

He quickly arrived at the entrance of Lingxiao Courtyard and said to the two disciples on duty, "By order of Elder Jiang Zhaoxia, I wish to see the Sect Master."

One of the disciples immediately went to the hospital to report to Li Qingqiu.

He had only taken a few steps when Li Qingqiu's voice came: "Let him in."

Upon hearing Li Qingqiu's voice, Qiao Dingbei immediately strode into Lingxiao Courtyard.

After one stick of incense.

Xu Ning and Shen Yue arrived at Lingxiao Courtyard one after the other.

Qiao Dingbei was surprised that Li Qingqiu had summoned both of them together.

"Jiang Zhaoxia and Zhao Zhen are seriously injured. Go and meet them," Li Qingqiu ordered directly.

Xu Ning and Shen Yue frowned, but nodded without hesitation. Li Qingqiu then had Xiao Ba escort the three of them to the cave again.

Looking in the direction Xiao Ba had left, with the moon and stars shining brightly in the night sky, Li Qingqiu's mood calmed down.

After learning that Jiang Zhaoxia and Zhao Zhen were both alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is indeed possession. I'd like to see what your background is."

Li Qingqiu muttered to himself. He sent Chu Jing not only to prevent someone from possessing Zhao Zhen, but also to have Chu Jing capture the other party's soul and bring it back for him to search for.

Everything is going smooth.

It's just a pity that Ku Yi and Ku Er died.

Both of them had a loyalty rating of over 92 for him, but unfortunately, they harbored selfish motives.

This also shows that even if someone is highly loyal, they might still act behind Li Qingqiu's back, because in their view, they don't want to harm Li Qingqiu, but just want to accomplish something else.

Regarding this matter, Li Qingqiu only sighed slightly, saying that everyone has their own destiny, and that suffering was one's own choice, so no one can be blamed.

Li Qingqiu was more interested in Jiang Zhaoxia's "True Dragon of the Mortal World" destiny than in this matter.

Is it a coincidence, or is it the power of destiny?

"Having the luck of a dragon" is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

How could one encounter a divine inheritance in this way?
He decided to observe further; if Jiang Zhaoxia continued to have such good luck, then he would have to take action.

"Junior brother, you know, your destiny is the one your senior brother likes the most..."

Li Qingqiu thought to himself with delight that the first destiny he copied was Jiang Zhaoxia's "Born Sword Maniac".

After a moment of joy, he sent a telepathic message to Zhang Yuchun, asking him to come up and have a chat.

The Imperial Spirit Hall is not far from the Lingxiao Academy, so he does not need to send anyone to summon him.

Soon, Zhang Yuchun strode into the courtyard. Li Qingqiu sat down in a chair and invited him to sit down and talk.

After he sat down, Li Qingqiu gave a brief account of Jiang Zhaoxia and Zhao Zhen's situation. Upon hearing that Jiang Zhaoxia was seriously injured and almost possessed, Zhang Yuchun's expression turned ugly.

"Yu Chun, we probably need to prepare to deal with the forces of cultivation. Even if they don't notice our Qingxiao Sect, we still need to prepare in advance."

Li Qingqiu spoke in a strange tone.

Zhang Yuchun took a deep breath and said, "That's right, we must take precautions."
